Badru Madavi was 22 when he was shot dead by the CRPF and the Chhattisgarh Police in 2020.
Two years after his death, the remains of 22-year-old Badru Madavi lie preserved in a village in Chhattisgarh in a large pit using herbs, salt and medicinal oil wrapped in white shroud and plastic.
Badru was killed in a joint operation by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the District Reserve Guards (DRG) of Chhattisgarh Police on March 19, 2020.
Security forces claimed Badru was the in-charge of a Maosist division called the Gangalur Area Committee and an expert in Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with a cash reward of Rs 2 lakh on his head.
But the residents of Gampur village in Dantewada, about 360 km south of capital Raipur, believe otherwise and hope they will get justice someday after an official inquiry.
